About Us

Our Vision:

Is an inclusive Community where every member's contribution is nurtured and valued.

Our Aim:

Is to provide leadership and support to create a vibrant Wolverhampton within a growing Black Country where people from all cultural groups work together creatively to improve social conditions, the economy and access to services, by capacity building the EM Voluntary and Community Sector.

We will achieve this by:

Building the capacity of the EM Voluntary and Community Sector, encouraging active participation of EM Communities, supported by the EM network, encouraging EM citizens, communities and businesses to engage in an inclusive partnership with mainstream organisations to deliver innovative products and services.

The EMC Site:

The aim of our Site is to provide Wolverhampton's voluntary and community sector with tools, resources and relevant information to help them operate successfully. Please visit regularly to find out what's new!
